I really felt the "when something good happens I'm afraid of losing it and when something bad happens I'm afraid it will go on forever" part.

I've been thinking today that nothing makes sense and now I'm beginning to understand my loneliness. It's not that I've lost everything, it's more like I never really had anything.

Everything exists in a state of contrast. There’s an element of pleasure or comfort even in melancholy, pain or misery

As someone who's been through their fair share of pain in life and who suffers from ADHD and Depression I find it hard to not see the worst in myself our my outcomes and the struggle's I've gone through has lowered my self worth considerably, I find it difficult to get motivated for things that are necessary for my benefit & it just feels like I'm throwing my life away, as if I'm lost with no real purpose and yet I'm aware of myself and my thoughts but I can't help but sink into a comfortable despair, it feels like I'm being pulled under the ocean trying to fight the anchor that weighs me down & I don't know how to live anymore.

there's a hint of a feeling that i can't shake off that it almost encourages complacency, even in bad situations that could be changed...

I hate it when people are like "money can't buy you happiness" but if i had money I wouldn't be miserable, stuck in toxic cycles with no physical escape except patience like.. i sure would have a much more stable living environment lol

Few months ago I visited Darjeeling. The air was great, the forests where mesmerizing and I got to see the Kanchanjangha. When i was experiencing all this, i had this feeling like life is worth living bcoz there still so much so experience and see and another part of me was saying this is only temporary ur life is miserable. Then when my trip was over and I came back, my life got hectic. Exams were in a few weeks and I was pretty behind. And at that time i was almost regretting having that trip, of allowing myself to enjoy something. And then it crossed my mind that although there is much to see, earth is beautiful which makes life worth living, but what if Im just unable to ever truly feel them and keep that feeling. We remember the bitterness of sorrow and suffering so well, but what was the exact moment that u feel happy, that gave the purpose even for a moment, that made u feel life was not all meaningless suffering, what was it? Just what was it? Its been a while and im trying to remember whatever it is that gave me happiness in that trip. But i just...cant remember. Its still miserable. Why cant i let go of this misery?

your videos are insane. they really make me have a completely different outlook on things and sometimes they're good outlooks sometimes they're bad. I've recently turned to substances to help with my mental health and the "why intoxicate yourself and end up losing your awareness of the present, the only thing that can actually bring you happiness" really hit hard.

I hate being alive. Life is nothing but suffering sporadically interrupted by false hope.

I just started learning about buddhism so this video was perfect timing! I'm at a point in my life that I have most the things I was dreaming about a few years ago and still feel that void. I've been telling myself that more money would ease that feeling but the more I study buddhism the more I understand that the only path towards happiness to appreciating the world around me. Even if it's just enjoying the sunshine, the rain, the trees, smiling faces, kids running around, cute animals, etc. Clearly money is important, because surviving is always first priority, but once you're at a place where you are comfortable, there is more joy in giving and helping others than spending on material items that bring momentary joy. Though I can't imagine a life where I don't treat myself a bit of delicious food 😅

I've thought about trying to live like this, but the idea of missing out drives me crazy. If I start being more satisfied with what I have then I may never experience those things which I've wanted to for a long time.

i learned from a young age (my parents were great this isnt on them) that life is suffering. Learn to enjoy and appreciate the good parts, and acknowledge that there will be a lot more annoyance and stupidity to deal with than things going right. Murphys law are often the case. but through appreciation of the good one can learn to value all of life for what it is. through suffering one learns to appreciate what one has.

After watching this i pondered. I usually browse youtube late at night before bedtime and once in a while i happen upon videos such as this one which makes me think about my life and the world. But once I wake in the morning i have forgotten most if not all of what i was pondering about. thus i concluded that i am stuck, repeating the same thing over and over again while nothing really changes thus the question arose: Why am I stuck? What makes people go i cycles, going from having attained some knowledge or stopped a behaviour only to later relapse?

The ideas he break down to something digestible have helped me mentally grappling with hard thoughts a significant amount more than therapy. It’s welcoming to be here.

I pictured half a dozen of panels that would be so meaningfully hurtful to me to see in this video, yet you did not draw them yourself. Thank you so much for being here, Sisyfus guy, and having me think about the things I need the most. Maybe I can make myself able to roll my bolders up my mountain, and if so, you would've blessed me. Thank you.
